King of Assassins

The three of them were also looking at him. As their eyes met, Zuo Bubei, Luo Tiangang, and Liu Sheng Wu Jian all had complex expressions.

Gao Xuan had just withstood an attack from the three of them combined, yet remained unscathed. Although Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang hadn't used full force in their rush, it was evident of Gao Xuan's ability.

The three Martial Gods couldn't be said to be afraid, but they did have a few genuine moments of admiration for Gao Xuan.

This man, from beginning to end, used no external objects, relying solely on the horizontal training power that dominates the present world. It's evident that Gao Xuan's Martial Dao is pure.

In comparison, the three of them fell a little short. This feeling is subtle, yet very real. Compared to Gao Xuan, that's what they lacked.

Of course, Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang each had their ultimate moves, giving them enough confidence to win against Gao Xuan. However, Gao Xuan was too difficult to deal with, winning against him was useless; they would have to kill him to solve the problem.

With this consideration in mind, the two of them joined forces to save Liu Sheng Wu Jian. With the power of three Martial Gods, it should be enough to kill Gao Xuan.

The distance between both sides was over a hundred paces, with each other's divine intent locked on, they weren't afraid of Gao Xuan fleeing.

Gao Xuan immediately understood their intentions. He said with some amusement, "Zuo Bubei, Luo Tiangang, you both are unworthy of being called Martial Gods. Not only do you not help in killing external enemies, but you also conspire against me from behind.

"And now you want to conspire with external enemies to besiege me. You Martial Gods are truly shameless."

Gao Xuan's clear voice was not loud, yet it spread throughout the whole mountain. The tens of thousands on Profound Yellow Mountain heard it clearly.

Although the vast majority of people didn't know what had happened, they roughly understood from Gao Xuan's words.

It turned out Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang had joined forces to save Liu Sheng Wu Jian, and now the three Martial Gods wanted to join forces to attack Gao Xuan.

The Emperor was struck dead by lightning, Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang boasted publicly, calling it divine punishment. Even if the people weren't very knowledgeable, they still felt there was a significant issue.

Not until Gao Xuan stood forth, righteously denouncing Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang, did the people understand that it was Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang who had assassinated the Emperor.

The allegiance of the people was momentarily with Gao Xuan. When Gao Xuan proceeded to kill Mengtu, although the people didn't quite understand his intent. But the Meng Country people were fierce and murderous, they loved plundering the Central Plains, being a century-old enemy of the Central Plains.

Such enemies, the more killed, the happier everyone was.

When Gao Xuan punched Mengtu to death, although the people didn't see the process, they saw the result. This made them even more respectful and appreciative of Gao Xuan.

When Gao Xuan went to kill Liu Sheng Wu Jian, the people were also very pleased. As a result, Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang ended up aiding the outsider against Gao Xuan, further infuriating the populace.

The people here were not only commoners but also included civil and military officials, princes and royal descendants, powerful and wealthy individuals.

After all, everyone's interests were aligned with Daqian; a prosperous Daqian meant better lives for them.

Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang killing the Emperor was essentially replacing him with another. For Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang to preach their faith could be tolerated.

But Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang colluding with the Alien Race Liu Sheng Wu Jian was hugely displeasing to everyone.

What Gao Xuan said made sense; no matter how they fought, it was a family infighting. Colluding with Liu Sheng Wu Jian was inviting foreign thieves to cause trouble at home, changing the nature entirely.

Such a shift in public sentiment is rather subtle. Even among the people from Taiyi Dao and Ten Directions Dao, more than half disapprove of Luo Tiangang and Zuo Bubei's actions.

As for other sects, it's needless to say, as they all grew disdainful and even deeply hated Luo Tiangang and Zuo Bubei.

However, the three Martial Gods were high and mighty, wielding absolute power.

The people on Profound Yellow Mountain were inclined towards Gao Xuan, but they couldn't change the situation.

Even someone as strong as Sun Shangdao could only keep withdrawing with Ye Jinxiu.

Gao Xuan's recent kill of Mengtu and battle with Liu Sheng Wu Jian made the old man realize the terror of the Martial Gods even more.

With his strength, he couldn't take two moves. Going up would be of no help, only certain death. It was better to protect Ye Jinxiu well.

If Gao Xuan were really outmatched, he could escape without a care.

Masters like Tie Yue and Tie Yuan of the Mountain Character Sect were also steadily retreating. Including the civil and military officials, princes, and royal descendants, they were also hurriedly fleeing outward as Gao Xuan spoke.

Those who could stand in the central area were smart people. Even if their minds couldn't turn quickly for a moment, seeing others run, they would follow.

The people were favorably disposed towards Gao Xuan, but it was just a sentiment. At this time, their priority was their own lives.

From the high platform, Luo Tiangang and Zuo Bubei could see clearly, also understanding the people's minds.

But at this point, the people's thoughts were not important. After dealing with Gao Xuan and killing a few dissenters to establish prestige, wouldn't the people of the world obediently listen to them?

In the end, in the face of life and death, everything else was trivial. So-called righteousness and virtue were not worth mentioning.

Zuo Bubei and the others didn't intend to kill too many people; it was better if these people ran farther. After all, in a great battle, no one dared to say they could control their power.

As the crowd quickly fled outward, the area around the high platform became entirely empty. Only Mother of Non-Birth, Qi Donglai, and Wang Qing were left.

Mother of Non-Birth and Qi Donglai didn't want to leave; they felt safer staying behind the three Martial Gods. Wang Qing didn't dare leave; he was right behind the three Martial Gods, any slight movement could get him killed.

The experts of the Ten Directions Dao, Taiyi Dao, and Path of Non-Birth were also retreating continually. This level of combat was not for them to intervene.

Gao Xuan flicked his sleeve, and in the next step, he was on the high platform.

Zuo Bubei, Luo Tiangang, and Liu Sheng Wu Jian, the three Martial Gods, all fixed their eyes on Gao Xuan, each with a grave expression.
